Snabba fakta: Varje år besöker över 500 000 besökare platsen för att beundra den monumentala trappan med 111 trappsteg. Vid bygget av detta ceremoniella komplex användes hela 125 000 stenblock, av vilka några väger upp till 40 ton.
Höjdpunkter: Visste du att de persiska kungarna här under nyåret tog emot gåvor från alla rikets folk och att 23 olika delegationer är avbildade på relieferna? Vid solnedgången faller strålarna exakt på Alla nationers port och skapar därmed ett teatraliskt spel av ljus och skugga på de tusenåriga stenrelieferna.
Insidertips
- Wear a cap and comfortable footwear, the site has almost no shade and you will walk several kilometers over uneven stone blocks.
- The best photos of the Apadana Palace and the relief staircases are taken shortly after sunrise, when the light is softest and the site is still empty.
- Do not limit yourself to the main terrace, detour to the rock tomb of Artaxerxes II at the edge of the site, where there are significantly fewer tourists.
- Bring enough water and light snacks with you, the buffet at the site has a limited selection and higher prices.
